This woman is so uplifting and strong and eloquent. she needs to write a book. loved this story
Yikes Sarah, you were completely unfair here! what's the difference of him or a BFF helping someone out?
who put this podcast on castbox? Thanks
usually love this podcast but this one (even thou she warned us) has a lot of bias
I would have really appreciated having someone help me write the eulogy for my Dad's funeral. I was a complete and utter wreck when he died unexpectedly and could barely string a sentence together let alone write a eulogy expressing all the things I wanted to say. To have someone else put my thoughts and feelings into a cohesive speech at that time would have been wonderful. I agonised for several days trying to find the words to eulogise my incredible father and on the day I faltered and was completely overwhelmed. Even now, several years later, I still think about all the things I wish I'd expressed at his funeral. It's not always easy to find the right words at the exact right time and I would gladly use a ghost writer if I was faced with a similar situation in the future.
Wow how obvious is her bias towards this ghost writer?! Dishonesty? Trickery? Could she have chosen more emotive words!?!? Her work is a more "above board" version but otherwise similar. Yeah ok I get it, you disapprove, enough already!!
I agree with the.reformed.chic that saying women mainly leave the workforce due to gender discrimination feels extremely inaccurate. I am sure it is a factor for some, but it is more likely that a woman would leave because of lack of quality childcare. A 2019 Forbes article, "Why Women Quit," credits overwork due to motherhood (the "second shift") and sexual harassment in the workplace as the top reasons women leave the workforce--in other words, not the gender discrimination this speaker describes. She seems to be acting under the assumption that women are totally equal to men in terms of socialization, experience, and education. This has not been true historically. This is a global, systemic issue that will not be solved just by hiring 50% men and 50% women. Also, there are not only two genders in the world... About 1 in 100 babies are born in the U.S. without a clearly defined gender. How would intersex people fit in to this hiring system? Or individuals who are transitioning gender
While I agree that there are a lot of people who assume women aren't leaders and act in a discriminatory way (I have had this happen to me and have seen it), I disagree that calling for a 50/50 anything is the answer. That will lead to people being hired simply because of their gender, not because of how qualified they are (I have seen this happen). Also, I work somewhere where all the leadership is women. I doubt this woman would still be calling for 50/50 equality in that case but would praise that we have so many women in the work force. Also, statistically women have and do leave jobs or do not want full time jobs in order to spend more time in the home. It isn't a CEO's fault that women are not applying to such positions or that women are choosing to leave the work force. You also can't blame women leaving on their experience in the work force - there are so many reasons why individuals choose to leave. Hire people who are the best qualified - regardless of what gender they are or
honestly this is why it won't be done. the fact that mental health care is not treated like any other medical issue. they look at it more like emotional problems without actually factoring in the physical part.
I can't believe you guys are back. always checking on any update. can't wait to binge listen to your episodes again.
I have never heard of anyone who went to prison and came out filled with empathy and love-prison made him a better person!
It's somewhat ironic this is about unheard stories and you're moving over to Luminary...
Cycle of pain = generational trauma Like the cycle of abuse
this podcast saves me during my commute!
Luminary, I'm done.
I like how the host seems surprised by hearing that differences can be solved by discussion among the community and not riots. Third wave feminism is a supremacist movement.
this is not an episode of a podcast. this is a piece of audio art.
I can't believe you guys are coming back. I am super excited to listen to your episodes again!!! I love you and I love the vulnerability and anonymity of all your folks!
Thank you so much
Wow. Thanks for sharing!
